RestorFX Clear Coat Repair

Hey Guys,

So I had an eventful weekend...driving home late on Saturday night with the gf and was nearly T-boned by a driver that ran a red light. I was turning right at the intersection and saw him out of my left peripheral vision. I ended up swerving to the right to move out of the way and scraped the rear passenger side on a light post. Good thing the T4R is pretty nimble because I would have been hit on the drivers side and the gf and I would've been in bad shape. The guy was flying around 50+ in a 25mph zone.

Anyways, I was looking to get some of the scratches out from the side and came across RestorFX. They have locations all over the US apparently. They specialize in paint restoration and can fix minor scratches. They were able to wet sand the clear coat to remove the scratches and then reapplied a layer of clear coat to reseal the paint. Overall, I'm happy with the fix. A few of the deeper scratches are still left, but are less noticeable.

Thought you guys might be interested to see how the before and after shots looked. It might be a good fix for some light trail rash or rock chips as well.

BTW...sorry Mods if I posted this in the wrong thread. I was between this thread and the Maintenance/Detailing thread.

I ended up paying about $100 and it took them about 30-40 mins. It took about 10 mins for everything to dry after application and they said not to get it wet for about 2 hours while it goes through it's full cure.

They said there's no warranty, but if I had any issues the owner said he would take care of it for me.



How much that cost you and do you get a warranty or guarantee?

You're shitting me. That only cost you 100 bones? Looks great!
 
Yup it was one hell of a fix and a deal. I was super surprised when he quoted me the price.

To all the Hawaiʻi members, they're located on Waiakamilo Road right next to Auto Customs.
